Many young people do not watch the news channels on TV or read the newspaper in most of countries.
This
 essay will discuss the main causes of
this
 habit including not having an
interest
 in societal issues and hardly getting
time
 from academic courses.
This
 essay will suggest the solutions for these problems that parents should develop an
interest
 in their offspring about society and manage their
time
accordingly
. To start with,
interest
 development regarding problems in society and a lot of television channels focus on problems related to politics or economics
that is
 not favourable for young people. On the other side, old people follow it because they might have invested in the market and politics can be beneficial or harmful in any manner to society. Along with that, many of the children hardly get
time
 from their studies to read the newspapers or watch these channels.
For example
, kids go for eight hours to school and later to private tuitions, which drained their most of
time
 and hardly get
time
 for reading newspapers and
also
 they keen to watch sports or other news rather than political or societal problems, which is less focused by media.
In addition
 to that, in order to tackle these issues, parents can play a vital role. They need to show their children how important these news are and why we should follow them. Some of the universities
also
 can encourage students to follow that.
For instance
, a university in Pakistan called Pafkiet always advises their new students on orientation to catch up the stock and business-related news and issues.
This
 way they are managing their
time
 as well and it has played a significant role and viewership of the certain TV channels jumped up since
then
. To conclude, in many countries youth hardly read newspapers or follow it on TV as the main reasons are their
interest
 in it and
time
 management from studies, which can be tackled through developing that
interest
 and managing
time
 from home or academic centres.
